Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT01479608Recruiting
Liver transplant for colon or rectal cancer liver spread
This trial studies whether a liver transplant can help people with colon or rectal cancer that has spread to the liver (but not elsewhere). It aims to improve outcomes by removing the diseased liver when the cancer has responded to chemotherapy and can still be controlled.
OsloAges 18 years+ - NCT02504788Recruiting
Protect the brain’s memory area during whole-brain radiation
This study tests whether avoiding the hippocampus (a part of the brain important for memory) during whole-brain radiotherapy can slow down thinking and memory decline. It may help some people preserve neurocognitive function while still treating brain metastases.
TaoyuanAges 18–84 - NCT02422641RecruitingPhase 2
High-dose methotrexate for breast cancer in the brain lining
This Phase 2 trial tests whether giving high-dose methotrexate into the bloodstream can help treat breast cancer that has spread to the thin lining covering the brain and spinal cord. It may help reduce cancer in the leptomeningeal (brain-lining) area and control symptoms.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT02448992RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Brain radiation that avoids the memory area in lung cancer
This trial studies a “prophylactic” (preventive) type of brain radiation for people with lung cancer that has spread to nearby lymph nodes but not to the brain. It aims to lower the chance of brain metastases while protecting the hippocampus, an area linked to memory.
TaoyuanAges 18–80 - NCT07398599Recruiting
Double-dose targeted therapy plus chemo for lung cancer spread to brain lining
This trial tests a stronger dose of an EGFR-targeted drug combined with bevacizumab and chemotherapy into the spinal fluid for patients with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to the lining of the brain and is no longer responding to standard treatment.
Nanchang, JiangxiAges 18–99 - NCT07433660Recruiting
WellSpan Cancer Quality of Life Study
This study looks at quality of life in people recently diagnosed with cancer. It aims to understand how cancer and its treatment affect daily life and well-being.
Chambersburg, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07443020RecruitingPhase 1
Fast immune cells for fluid build-up from cancer
This trial tests a treatment using your own immune cells (T cells) to fight cancer that has spread to the lining of the lung and is causing fluid buildup. It may help if other standard treatments have stopped working.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18–79 - NCT07476651Recruiting
Study of a scout dose of resin microspheres for liver cancer
This trial is testing a low 'scout' dose of tiny radioactive beads (resin microspheres) given into the liver to treat liver cancer. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and helps patients with certain types of liver cancer that cannot be surgically removed.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT07477457RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted drugs plus chemo for advanced osteosarcoma
This trial combines four targeted drugs (gefitinib, trametinib, disulfiram, sunitinib) with standard chemotherapy to treat osteosarcoma that has spread or come back. The goal is to see if this drug mix helps shrink tumors or keep them from growing.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 6–49 - NCT05508464Recruiting
Test targeted radiation to control many metastases safely
This study tests whether a focused, high-precision type of radiation can control many cancer spread-out spots (“metastases”) at the same time, while keeping side effects acceptable. It may help people with many metastases live longer or have better disease control by aiming treatment at every treatable spot.
London, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07504471RecruitingPhase 2
Bicarbonate plus chemo and immunotherapy for pancreatic cancer liver spread
This trial tests adding sodium bicarbonate to a chemotherapy plus immunotherapy regimen for pancreatic cancer that has spread to the liver. The goal is to see if this combination helps shrink tumors and improves outcomes.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07552233Recruiting
NK Cell Therapy for Recurrent Brain Tumors
This trial tests a new type of immune cell therapy (NK cells) for patients with malignant brain tumors that have come back or worsened despite previous treatment. The goal is to see if these specially prepared immune cells can help fight the cancer.
